This well-maintained 9-hole course delivers outstanding value, with green fees that include a range ball bucket and friendly staff consistently praised by recent players. The layout challenges your short game while still offering driver holes, and rounds typically wrap up in under two hours.

Desert Mirage Golf Course offers a public, nine-hole course and a fully stocked pro shop. The course has a traditional design but that does not mean it is boring. It is perfect for squeezing in a quick game or for beginners and kids. The course is relatively flat, but there are some hills on the course that can affect shots. The greens are medium sized with some slight undulation and the generous fairways are wide open. There are also water hazards and bunkers that come into play on a few of the holes. Desert Mirage Golf Course's signature hole is the par-4 ninth. It requires a tee shot over a lake to an island green.

Golf with my Grandson

Overall I had a great time with my Grandson. I hadn’t golfed here in 10 years ( with his dad ). It was the first time for him. 110 degrees here in Phoenix and the perfect amount of holes. My only negative complaint would be that it was really muddy around the greens ( not all holes ) . You know off the greens you aren’t supposed to clean your balls ( marked on Greens only ) . Yes I wasn’t playing for money but always play by the rules. My grandson had a blast so we would definitely play here again. Maybe better conditions next time. Robert B

Fun 9 hole course

Desert Mirage is a nice little layout with 4 short par 4s and 5 par 3s. Great for iron practice, but also a chance to hit a couple of woods. Course is in good shape, tee to green grass is good. Greens are in great shape for summer and roll nicely. Good finishing hole with a lake along the whole left side of hole.

Regular golfer at desert

My experience at the course was ok compared to previous tee times visits. A little over priced for the course conditions, staff friendliness and range. Unfortunately, pace of play was terrible. Although, the staff was great about noticing multiple groups slowing everyone down, the conditions weren’t helping. All around, it’s ok if you’re a beginner golfer. Just a little OP. Hope this helps.
